Something I found googling around: http://normalkid.com/collector/100.html Hope it helps, Rick

My OMP has FCC I.D BCGH1000 Model Number H1000 and copyright of 1993 Mine was officially an Apple Service part and not retail, it came with NOS 1.11 I do not know about the 100…

ahh yea the pill battery. i totally forgot the models under the MP 2000 had them.

Wally is right! It is the battery! It is working (I left it plugged in for the afternoon and will be plugged in for the rest of the time). I hope it'll still work in the morning. I…

At a guess, based on the many Sonnet processor upgrade cards that I have, both ZIF and PDS, yours will have at least 512kB of L2 cache, and very possibly 1MB. Sonnet is always mor…

Also try testing the internal backup battery (silver disk). If you had dead AA batteries and were running on backup for a while you may have drained that as well.

This thread has resonances with the battle by beachycove to get a PB 500 series with a recelled battery to accept its new lease of life. I agree with wally's recommendation that r…

Depends on the G3 you purchased and how much cache it has (512K or 1MB). To get a faster system you need more RAM, an ATA/66 IDE card or a fast wide SCSI card and some decent HDs. …

Could be, but give it a chance to heal (recharge). I was sure the PRAM battery was hosed on the PBG3 Firewire I just bought, but then I pulled the dead main battery to do some sur…

Given more RAM, to at least 256MB, preferably matched and paired (interleaved), and an upgrade to at least OS 9.1, or 9.2.2 with OS9Helper, much better. 'Better' however, depends …

I think it is the PRAM battery (though it'll boot up to OS 9.2.2 perfectly. No "?" mark folder). It boots into OS 10.3, if I select it from the install OS X CD or if I select it f…

Just pull the main battery, the optical drive can be in or out, leave the PowerBook plugged in several days. I've seen conflicting info on the internet regarding just which models…

I'm just using a 20 gb partition. I asked elsewhere if I should partition it, but they said Lombards didn't need partitioning. Thanks for the tip, I'll try it. How exactly do I c…

Should you have a zero charge old main battery in there when you are testing, you can try pulling it out and charging the PRAM battery for a full 48 hours in either operating or sh…

the display remaining in a sleep like state wile booting can be fixed. in open firmware its normlly set to use a different output thats no longer installed, in xpostfacto there is …

maybe somehow the battery contacts are corroded and need cleaning, or connections got bent somehow. i would check them to see there condition. if that don't work then something in…

Hello, I have a Power Mac 7300/200 running OS 9.0.4 with 48 megs of memory. Currently, the processor in this machine is a 604e, but I recently purchased a Sonnet G3 upgrade from th…

Hey guys, yet another question. This one one is about my Lombard. ****LOOK DOWN THE PAGE!! PLEASE! After installing both OS 10.2 and 10.3 (from retail disks), my Lombard would ac…

I have an Apple Newton that I got for free. Judging by pictures, it must be either an OMP or a 100. How can I tell which one it really is? It's kind of a neat little thing and I…

I have read that the temperature sensor is actually part of the processor daughter card.

I loved my Newton Message Pad 130 and used it everyday, but one day the batteries died. I didn't get around to replacing them for a couple of weeks, but when I did get around to r…

I own a Sawtooth but like almeath I don't have the original 8.6 install CD. Could someone who has the Mac OS ROM 2.5.1 file please make it available for download so that other Saw…

As far as I know the power manager (PM) circuit is built into the motherboard. It can be reset as above, and for reference here is the offical Apple guide on the subject: http://su…

When you say PM card, do you mean a replaceable card?
